Hi Jean, When using Express Scribe Pro with the Olympus RS-28H foot pedal weвЂ™ve found setting the foot pedal to Olympus Mode, via the Configuration Tool, works well. In light of this, we recommend avoiding the RS-31H foot pedal and stick with the RS-28H foot pedal, when configuring for use with any third-party applications which support control by keyboard commands.

This has worked with some RS-31H foot pedals but not every time, and not with every pedal, which is a real shame. One solution we discovered was to ensure the 4th pedal on the RS-31H is disabled/locked. WeвЂ™ve had no problems using the RS-28H foot pedal with Express Scribe Pro, but have had intermittent problems using the RS-31H. *** While in theory, the Olympus RS-31H foot pedal should work with most third-party applications which support keyboard commands, such as Express Scribe Pro Transcription software, weвЂ™ve had mixed success in using the RS-31H with Express Scribe Pro. They will revolutionise, AND simplify your world! If you want a foot pedal that is compatible with most third-party applications, is simple to use and configure, inexpensive and robust, then look no further than the Olympus RS-28H or RS-31Hfoot switches. For use with most non-Olympus applications, the configuration tool is simply set to вЂњKeyboardвЂќ mode The Olympus RS-28H and RS-31H foot switches, via the configuration tool, have two operating modes, вЂњOlympusвЂќ mode and вЂњKeyboardвЂќ mode. Photo Capture, Editing or Manipulation apps (Olympus Capture, Adobe Photoshop), and.Word Processing or Document Management apps (MS Office Suite including MS Excel and MS PowerPoint),.Multimedia apps (Windows Media Player, iTunes),.The FTSW Tool can be used with most apps that support control via keyboard commands, enabling hands-free control. The FTSW Tool is not just for transcription applications.

The question is no longer вЂњwhich foot pedal is compatible with my transcription softwareвЂќ, but rather, вЂњWhich software application is NOT compatible with my Olympus foot pedalвЂќ.

The release of the new Olympus foot pedals and the free configuration tool has fundamentally reset the transcription software and foot pedal compatibility dynamic. Transcription software such as NCHвЂ™s Express Scribe Professional, Philips SpeechExec Pro and SpeechExec Standard, Winscribe, For The Record (FTR) and Karisma, can all be used with an Olympus RS-28H or RS-31H foot pedal, in conjunction with the FTSW Tool.

WhatвЂ™s more, the RS28H and RS31H, in conjunction with the FTSW Tool, can be used with third-party applications in both Windows and Mac environments. Foot pedal compatibility with transcription software is no longer an issue If your application supports control via keyboard commands, then you can use the RS-28H or RS-31H foot pedal for hands-free control. Foot pedal compatibility is now a thing of the past. The Olympus Foot Switch Configuration Tool (FTSW Tool) enables an Olympus RS-28H or Olympus RS-31H*** foot pedal to be compatible with most third-party applications.

Times have changed and attitudes have shifted. Other reasons have included improving workflow integration, brand loyalty, and possessing historic familiarity with the brand product. There have been a number of compelling reasons for this, the most critical being the opportunity to eliminate potential software and foot pedal compatibility issues.
